Metal Seams: Thin Black Lines

A joint between metal panels. A five-millimeter groove is left between two mirror-polished stainless steel panels, with a matte black interior. Because the surrounding surface is extremely bright, this groove becomes the deepest line in the image, dividing the large reflective area into regular sections. The position of the joint is arranged to align with the edges of light fixtures, openings, and furniture. Avoid: allowing metal panels to butt directly, creating an uneven seam, using silicone sealant, having random joint positions, or using trim strips of the same color as the metal to make the seam disappear.

一處金屬板之間的接縫。兩片鏡面不鏽鋼之間留出一道五公釐的凹槽,內部是消光的黑色;因為周圍的表面極亮,這道縫變成畫面裡最深的線,把大面積的反射切成規則的區塊。接縫的位置經過安排,與燈具、開口與家具的邊緣對齊。避免:讓金屬板直接對接產生不平整的縫、使用矽利康填縫、讓接縫的位置隨機、使用與金屬同色的收邊條讓縫消失。
